Well tomorrow I have my spine fused; obviously there are upsides and downsides to this.

The upside is maybe I’ll get my left leg back, reduce my pain level to something more tolerable and get off the copious amounts of mind altering drugs I’ve been on for the last four moths.

The downside is – its surgery, stupid and major surgery at that, I’ll have to stay at least three days in the hospital, who stays in the hospital these days, hospitals are a veritable cornucopia of infections waiting to happen.

There is risk in all surgery and neurosurgery is a crap shoot at best. So we’ll hope for the best and see what happens. I am entering this with more than a little trepidation. See ya on the flip side…
